It's a general supposition that Pilsner goes down well in almost every case, this light German lager doesn't have a strong character that can easily scare rookies off. Helles beers are similar to Pilsners in this regard and welcome newcomers with their refreshing aroma but easily distinguishable from them with their muted hop character and soft malty accent.

Kölsch is the perfect example of the so-called hybrids, the beverage is usually fermented with ale yeast but is held at cold temperatures after fermentation that is a common practice with lagers.
Although you certainly don't have Stange, Kranz or a Köbes at home, feel free to try the following tips from our master brewer and make yourself a light coloured, easy to drink and refreshing type of German hybrid.

This style is the smart merge of Weissbier and Doppelbock with richly layered maltiness and the strength of a crispy Bock, although Weizenbocks today are far from the earlies types of Bocks that were first brewed in the 14th century.
